Taking Orders

By -


Despite what you may think at first glance, this is not a failed Christmas cookie disguised as a stitch marker.

It is not the result of using Sandra lee's semihomemade recipe without really measuring the amount of flour needed to be added to the premade refrigerated cookie dough.

It is not just another attempt by the irisheyed Hungarian to make a decent cookie.

Well what is it, you ask?

It is the ultimate knitter's stitchmarker. Beautiful? no.
Edible? yes!!!
Rock hard and Uncrumbleable? You bet.
Melt in your mouth sugary when removed from the needles and dunked in a hot cup of coffee? Uh-huh.

I happen to have 23 more of them. Imagine that. If you are looking for a gift for the knitter in your life who doesn't make time to eat.....this could be it.

Love it,...and your mom's scarf. Can we have a cookie recipe? It sounds like it could be very useful. Maybe it could be used to thread the ends of a scarf or shawl through. Who knows? The marketing value could be out of sight! --Thanks for the laugh.

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
